...Synopsis...

In the wake of the progressive mid-level trough moving over the

South Plains D1/Fri, shortwave ridging will rapidly develop over the

western High Plains ahead of a second deepening trough farther west.

The ridging will favor weak winds and relatively mild temperatures

through much of the day. The ridge will break down ahead of the

strengthening mid-level trough late in the day into early D3/Sun.

Strong westerly winds aloft may support downslope flow west of a

surface lee trough over parts of the Rockies and High Plains.

However, the trough aloft is expected to be poorly timed with the

diurnal cycle, supporting only modest surface winds and relatively

poor overlap with critically low RH values. This should largely

negate fire-weather concerns across the CONUS.
